Additional Genomics Education Resources and Initiatives

Genomics Education Resources

Genomics Education Partnership: The Genomics Education Partnership provides opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in genomics research. GEP is a collaboration between primarily undergraduate institutions and the Biology Department and Genome Sequencing Center of Washington University in St. Louis.

GCAT: Genome Consortium for Active Teaching: GCAT's mission is to bring functional genomic methods into undergraduate curriculum primarily through student research using microarrays. GCAT provides a centralized chip reader at Davidson College, a clearinghouse of information for teachers to use, including animations, a large data base of raw and analyzed data for pedagogical use, and an active network of teachers using microarray approaches in the classroom. GCAT is coordinated by Malcolm Campbell.

HHMI Science Education Alliance Initiative in Undergraduate Genomics: A national experiment in both research and education that revolves around a research course in genomics for undergraduate students. Students will participate in an authentic research experience-integrated into a laboratory course designed for freshmen-that will result in a significant contribution to the broader genomics field.
